Amu heard every one congratulating them as there was an awkward silence for a few seconds. They stared at each other, and the longer it went on, the closer Amu went to leave the room, or ask Aiko and Ikuto to leave. But Aiko decided to talk.
Aiko: I don't hate you.
Amu: It seems like you do. You talk to everyone else nicely, but them you don't to me.
Aiko: I know you and everyone else out there had Chara's.
Amu: How did-
Aiko: Ikuto told me about everything that has happened back then. About him and Tadase, and even the Embryo.
Amu: But that isn't a reason why you hate me.
Aiko: I had a Chara too. But we got into fights that lasted days. And we rarely got along. Then one day she got into her egg and disappeared. I couldn't have a Chara do to my personality. Then I hear you had 4 of them. And now you are so lively. But, I couldn't understand why I couldn't have one, but you could have 4. And nothing bad ever happened to your Chara's and even now you are so happy and joyful. But I wasn't. I lost my Chara, and I never forgave myself after that.
Aiko's eyes started to fill with tears. Then, Amu wrapped her arms around her and hugged her.
Amu: We fought too, my Chara's and I. I even got an X on my un-hatched egg. So I had to get it back. But even if you lost yours, she will live in you forever and always. And nothing will happen to either of you as long as that friendship lives in the both of you.
Amu let go and disappeared from the kitchen then came back with a picture of Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia. Aiko loves to see Chara's again.
Aiko: Amu, thank you for forgiving me. At least, I hope you do.
Amu: Of course! Now, let's go see Kukai and Utau.
Aiko: Okay.
